Juliet Marillier is by far one of my favourite authors~ I read my first book by her when I was just starting High School and got completely lost and obsessed with her world ^_^;; I have not had the opportunity to read any other series by her other than the one I have listed below ;__;

--The Seven Waters Trilogy-- [Now named Seven Waters Forest Series]

This series is a book that revolves around Irish Folklore, if I remember correctly. It is a fantasy series.

No longer an actual Trilogy, this series just recently got a fourth book added; but it wasn't originally intended to be added.

The synopsis for each is copied directly from their respective pages found at http://www.julietmarillier.com.

These are the books::

Daughter of the Forest -In Daughter of the Forest, the fairy tale story - a youngest sister must maintain complete silence while weaving shirts from nettles in order to return her swan brothers to human form - is combined with a family drama set on both sides of the Irish Sea. More than anything, this is a story about the bond of love between siblings.

Son of the Shadows -After years of comparative peace, darkness has fallen upon the region and leaders are called upon to declare their alliances. Golden-haired Niamh, elder daughter of Sorcha, finds herself required to make a strategic marriage, while her sister Liadan must venture into the shadowy world of the Painted Man and his followers. In doing so, Liadan begins a journey that is to transform her life.

Child of the Prophecy - Raised in an isolated cove in County Kerry, the young sorceress Fainne is sent to Sevenwaters and burdened with a terrible task. She must use whatever powers she can to prevent the Fair Folk from winning back the Islands, no matter what the cost. The price of disobedience is weighed in human lives: the lives of all those she holds dear.

Child of the Prophecy is set one generation after the events of Son of the Shadows.

Heir to Sevenwaters -

((I have not had the opportunity to read this yet.. I own it but I wish to reread the other three books first~))

The chieftains of Sevenwaters have long been custodians of a vast forest, one of the last refuges of the Tuatha De Danann, the Fair Folk of ancient story. Human and Otherworld dwellers have existed there side by side, separated by a thin veil between worlds and sharing a wary trust. Until the spring when Lady Aisling of Sevenwaters finds herself expecting another child, and everything changes.

With her mother pregnant, Clodagh fears the worst since Aisling is well past the safe age for childbearing. Clodagh's father, Lord Sean of Sevenwaters, faces his own difficulties as warring factions threaten his borders. When the baby is born the unthinkable happens, and Clodagh's world is turned upside down.

To set things to rights for her family and for all the people of Sevenwaters, Clodagh must enter the shadowy Otherworld and confront the powerful prince who now rules there. Accompanied on her quest by a warrior of uncertain allegiance, she will have her courage tested to breaking point. The reward may be far greater than she ever dreamed.
